Lot details

Registration No: T.B.A
Chassis No: ZAMGH45C000037595
MOT: December 2025

  • Warranted 84,000 miles from new
  • Much improved in the vendor's ownership, including ceramic coating, new headlining, and alloy wheel refurbishment
  • Finished in Grigio Granito Metallic with Red leather upholstery
  • Supplied with documented service history

Unveiled at the 2007 Geneva Salon, the Maserati GranTurismo set a new record for the automotive industry, progressing from design to production in just nine months. Based on a modified version of the M139 platform that underpinned the Quattroporte V saloon, the newcomer was equipped with all-round independent, double-wishbone suspension and powered by a Ferrari-derived 4.2-litre V8 engine (399bhp/339lb ft) allied with a ZF six-speed automatic transmission. Conceived as more of a luxurious grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, the Maserati was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds and 177mph. However, the GranTurismo’s outstanding feature was its stunning Pininfarina styling. The work of Jason Castriota, it remains one of the twenty-first century’s most elegant GTs. A sales success for Maserati, the GranTurismo evolved through various guises with some 28,805 being produced in total.

Dating from very early in GranTurismo production and originally registered in Wimbledon as ‘LJ08 FHT’, this highly presentable and well-preserved example cuts a rather sinister dash in its original colour scheme of Grigio Granito Metallic with Red leather upholstery. Certainly appearing to have always been a well cared for example, there is a record of seven services completed as follows: marque specialist Verdi in 2011 (10,673 miles); by a main dealer in 2013 (18,425); by Verdi in 2015 (32,282); by Scuderia Scaglietti in 2016 (44,810); by an independent garage in 2018 (67,500) and 2020 (71,602) and by marque specialist Cowbridge in 2021 (73,697).

The vendor bought the car in 2022 and promptly returned it to Cowbridge for some minor works including the reconditioning of the alternator and fitment of a new battery and a new coolant expansion tank. Much additional work has been completed since, including ceramic-coating, installation of a new headlining, wheel refurbishment and attention to the suspension. Now having covered just 84,000 miles from new, the Maserati has more recently received another full service, and is sold with documented service history and an MOT until December, 2025.
